some narrative techniques Roger Mais uses in the book Brother Man are forshadowing, flashback,oniscient poit of view,imagery and motif.
Roger Mais develope charaterisation bycreating images of the characters' attitude towards other characters, for example papacita acts towards girlie always beating her and troubling minette shows that papacita is an and ubfaithful man. alsohe also descibes character by using imagery becauce we know that brother man is a rasta farian because in the book it stated that he wore locks.
the setting is the Lane
some themes are love, jealousy, hatred, obeah, greed and religion.
some plots in thisbook are papacita alwaya abusing girlie emotionally and physical and being unfaithful , inwhich he is troubling minette and then he left girlie so bacause of this she ended up killing him.
aslo another plot is when papacita always troubling minette but she never took him on becuase she was interested in brother man so papacita made cordeila set up brother man so he could go to jail so that he can have minette all to himself.
foreshadowing comes in play in this book when Bra Ambo came to brother mand for help to hold some obeah equipment from the police but brtoher man did not assist him because obeah goes against his believes and becausec of this the two would never have a good relationship in the future.
flashback comes into play when brother man thinks back to his female companion when he was in love and she betrayed him.
